200+ questions based directly on the official Discover Canada study guide. Covers all 6 test categories. Adult applicants ages 18–54 must pass this test.
⚖️Category 1
Rights & Responsibilities
Charter of Rights, citizenship duties, voting, equality, Magna Carta.
The Ontario G1 knowledge test catches many first-time test-takers off guard. These 10 questions come up regularly and have a higher fail rate than average.
1. The School Bus Rule
When a school bus has its red lights flashing on a two-lane undivided road — traffic in both directions must stop. Most people only think same-direction traffic stops. Wrong. Both directions stop.
2. Right Turn on Red
You can make a right turn on a red light in Ontario — but only after coming to a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic. A rolling slow-down does not count as a stop.
3. Following Distance
The minimum following distance in good conditions is 2 seconds. In rain, snow, or fog — double it to at least 4 seconds. Pick a fixed object and count after the car ahead passes it.
4. Parking Near Fire Hydrants
You must stay at least 3 metres from a fire hydrant — not 1 metre, not 5 metres. 3 metres. This comes up on almost every G1 test.
5. Uncontrolled Intersection Right of Way
At an intersection with no signs or signals, yield to the vehicle on your right. Not the faster car. Not the bigger car. The one on your right.
6. G1 Midnight Curfew
G1 drivers cannot drive between midnight and 5am without a qualified supervisor. There are zero exceptions — not for work, not for emergencies.
7. Stunt Driving Threshold
Stunt driving charges apply when you exceed the speed limit by 40 km/h or more. This results in immediate roadside suspension and vehicle impoundment — no warning.
8. Move Over Law
When passing a stopped emergency vehicle, move to a non-adjacent lane. If you cannot change lanes, slow to 60 km/h.
9. Left Turn at Green
A green light does not give you the right of way when turning left. You must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before completing your turn.
10. BAC Limits
The legal BAC limit for a full G licence holder is 0.08. For G1 and G2 drivers — it is zero. Any alcohol at all is a violation for novice drivers.
